September marks National Service Dog Month, a time to honor the extraordinary bond between service dogs and those they support—and what better way to celebrate than by highlighting the compassionate mission of the Dogtopia Foundation?
As part of the Dogtopia family, the Foundation channels generosity and impact into funding programs that empower both dogs and people.
Since its inception, the Dogtopia Foundation has been a beacon for positive change. It has raised $4.7 million since 2017, supporting 678 service dogs and helping 608 veteran–service dog teams graduate through its Service Dogs for Veterans program alone.

The Foundation also supports Therapy Dogs for Students and creates meaningful employment initiatives for adults with autism—ensuring dogs continue to enrich lives across multiple fronts.
One moving testimonial comes from Retired Sergeant Jeanette R. Nichols, USA Paralympic track & field team member, who shared:
“From the moment I laid eyes on Maverick, I knew that he was exactly what I needed. He has made an incredible difference in the quality of my life.”
It’s stories like these that fuel the Foundation's purpose and remind us of the transformative power of this work.

As the Foundation changes lives for the future, Dogtopia daycares bring happiness, health, and love to dogs and their families every single day. Services offered include:
- Daycare: Every dog is treated like family—enjoying safe, supervised open-play with BFFFs (Best Furry Friends Forever), expertly managed by certified Canine Coaches in climate-controlled playrooms. Parents can even check in anytime through live webcams to see their pups having fun.
- Boarding: A home-away-from-home experience guaranteed to be both comforting and fun. Only dogs enrolled in daycare can board—ensuring they’re well-adjusted to the pack environment.
- Spa: A chance for pampering and relaxation. From baths to nail trims, these services keep pups feeling fresh and fabulous.
- DASH Activity Trackers: We offer a daycare-approved collar that monitors your dog’s activity and wellness, helping pet parents understand their furry best friend’s exercise levels and overall health.
Dogtopia’s commitment to safety shines through in its facility designs: rubberized flooring, double-barrier doors, soundproofed rooms, pet-safe cleaning protocols, webcams, and tailored playgroups ensure a fun and secure environment for every pup.
